Pilates is an excellent way to strengthen your body’s core muscles and enhance your posture. This slow, controlled form of exercise dramatically improves posture and alignment. The exercises are specifically designed to engage deep muscle tissues that support the spine while gently pulling in and uplifting the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. At Vital Health in Tiptree, near Colchester, we offer tailored Pilates sessions to help you achieve optimal strength and alignment.

Benefits of Pilates
As Pilates focuses on core strength, posture, and flexibility the health benefits of attending can include:
-
Good posture
Pilates is a highly effective way to improve posture by strengthening the core muscles that support the spine and pelvis. Through focused, controlled movements, Pilates targets deep abdominal muscles, the back, and the pelvic floor, helping to create a strong foundation for better posture. Lauren’s Pilates classes are designed to promote body awareness and proper alignment, ensuring you carry these benefits into everyday life. Whether you’re new to Pilates or looking to refine your technique, Lauren’s expert guidance ensures you get the personalized attention needed to improve posture, prevent slouching, and feel your best.
-
Muscle tone
The exercises involve the use of muscles that you may not use on a daily basis. After the initial soreness, if you do Pilates regularly you’ll find that your muscles will be much more toned and getting stronger too. This is especially good for older people and those who are normally quite sedate in their daily life as muscle tone is usually lost with age and inactivity.
-
Flexibility
As we age, we tend to lose the flexibility we had when we were young. Pilates can help restore your flexibility, gently at first of course. After a while though, you’ll be amazed at how much more flexible your body has become from our classes. This is especially important for avoiding injuries from falls and other workout and exercise routines.
-
Improves your balance
Through the mind-body connection which is taught in Pilates you will become much more aware of how your body moves and performs. Therefore, Pilates not only improves your physical balance through correct posture but aims to also restore your mind-body balance.
-
Reduces stress
When doing the exercises, you’ll be totally engrossed and won’t be able to think about all those responsibilities that weigh you down on a day-to-day basis. You’ll be more focused on your breathing and on the moves that you are making with your body. This is an excellent way to relieve stress. It’s also much slower than other exercise classes, so a great way to unwind from a busy day while still working out.

My wife has been visiting Vital Health for a few weeks now. She has found Lauren to be so helpful, pleasant and supportive in her treatment. She really knows what advice to give and my wife has felt very comfortable with her and the treatment she has received. Great out of clinic support too with exercises, nutrition and additional tips. My wife could not recommend her more highly.
